红色年代，卷一
红色年代 第一卷
前言
当我决定写下关于红色年代的记事时，我前往晨风省四处游历，亲自寻访当地的丹莫民众。我追求的是第一手的纪录和关于这起大灾难的个人观点——这是因为我认为若只是坐在冬堡学院的书堆中，是无法传达那些真正应该被传承下去的故事的。当我来往于大城、小镇和村庄之间时最让我震撼的，便是我所遇见的每一个丹莫所共同拥有的大无畏勇气和坚强意志。于是，这让原本该是记录晨风省史上最严重灾难之一的行程，有了完全不一样的意义——本书可说是本地的居民欢庆之书，见证他们永远不会被击败的精神。
卓林·培斯
提尔城
“地面……突然变得像一锅煮沸的粥一样……几乎毫无预警。我是说，当时……最近的沼泽距离我们应该也有一里左右吧？但沼泽却突然吞没了几乎半个城市”
我要他从头开始描述事情经过。
“那时我在提尔城外有块田。我们正准备储存收割好的作物并为下一季的谷物播种。原本一切都很顺利，直到红山喷发为止。大地紧接着便开始隆隆作响并且剧烈摇晃，地面四处出现裂缝，然后水开始淹了进来。那实在太糟糕了。大概几个小时之内，我就置身于膝盖深的沼地中，并得设法逃命。我完全不知道自己正往哪里逃。起初，我朝城里跑，但很快我便发现城墙上也开始出现裂缝。我四周的人无不拼命设法在逐渐攀高的水位中抢救牲口和家人。当摇动平息下来，我总算有时间好好想想，却听见了可怕的破碎声。我永远不会忘记那个声音，因为当时我甚至不用看就知道发生了什么事：整座提尔城南面的城墙垮了，把上面的守卫全都卷进了沼泽里去。我听见人们在被瓦砾掩盖并掉入水中时所发出的尖叫。这让我暂且忘却了自身安危，回头环顾和我一起工作的农友们。眼前正在发生的大屠杀让他们每个人都看呆了。突然，我们个个都奋不顾身地前往救援。现场大概有几百个住在墙外的穷苦人对墙内的有钱人伸出援手。我从来没见过这样的事情。那一天，我们应该救了几百个，或者甚至更多的人”
奈利亚·雷列希
尼斯镇
奈利亚在红山喷火时受到严重的灼伤，因此无法顺畅地与我交谈。这些年来她都在黑光城的阿祖拉神殿中疗养。以下是我尽力所记录下的内容：
“那火焰……实在是太吓人了。它烧尽了沿路所经的一切。它夷平了树木，将我们的小屋化为碎片，高塔面对它时就像是用羊皮纸做的一般。这一切都发生在转眼之间。一声巨响之后，随之而来的便是一片火海……甚至将太阳都遮蔽了。我以为世界就要裂开了。河水也被化为蒸汽……几乎所有碰到它的东西都被汽化了。当它终于追上我们时，我整个人倒在地上……根本没有时间逃跑或寻找庇护。最后，我来到了镇边的河床，足以让部分火焰与我保持距离。我的四周……只能闻到烧焦的恶臭和死亡的气息。有很多丹莫被活活烧死，有些则甚至连火从哪里来的都没看见。在治疗师找到我之前，我在河边躺了两天。等我再次有能力站起来时，整座尼斯镇已经消失了。没有任何东西留下……整座城镇就像从泰姆瑞尔大陆上抹去了一样”
The Red Year, Vol. I
Foreword
When I originally decided to write this accounting of the Red Year, I elected to travel across Morrowind and speak to the Dunmer people themselves. I sought first-hand accounts and personal views about the cataclysmic event. I felt that if I simply did the research in the library stacks at the College of Winterhold, I wasn't really telling the tale that needed to be told. What struck me as I moved from city to city, town to town, camp to camp is that all of the Dunmer I met shared an incredible bond of sheer courage and unshakable faith. So what began as a chronicle of one of the worst events in the history of Morrowind became something altogether different, the celebration of a people who can never be defeated.
Drallin Vess
Tear
"The ground... it just turned into mush. There was almost no warning. I mean, we were what... perhaps a mile from the nearest swamps? It was like the swamp suddenly swallowed up half of the city."
I asked him to describe what happened from the beginning.
"I owned a farm just outside of Tear at the time. We were planting the next season's crops and getting ready to store what we had harvested. Everything was going well until the Red Mountain exploded. Almost immediately, the ground rumbled and shook. Cracks started forming everywhere and then the water just started seeping through. It was awful. In a matter of hours, I was knee-deep in swamp water running for my life. Where I was running, I had no idea. At first I ran towards the city itself, but it looked like the walls were cracking. All around me, people were desperately trying to save their livestock and their families from the rising water. Just when the ground shaking finally died down, and I had a moment to think, there was a horrible cracking noise. I'll never forget it, because I knew what it was before I looked. The entire southern wall of Tear collapsed sending guards tumbling into the swamp. I heard people screaming as they were covered by the rubble and forced down into the water. Forgetting my own problems, I looked over at my fellow farmers who were all staring at the carnage unfolding before us. Suddenly, we all just forgot our own problems and ran to help. There must have been hundreds of the poorer folks who lived outside the walls helping the richer ones who lived in the city. Never saw anything like that. I think we must have saved hundreds more that day."
Neria Relethyl
Gnisis
Neria was badly burned by the eruption, and had trouble speaking to me. She is currently convalescing at the Temple of Azura in Blacklight even after all these years. I've tried to record her story to the best of my ability.
"It was such a terrible thing... the fire. It burned everything in its path. It flattened trees, turned our huts into splinters and knocked over towers like they were made from parchment. It all happened in an instant. A rumbling sound, then a massive wall of flame... it was so high it blocked out the sun. I thought that the world itself had split apart. It passed over the water and turned it to steam... vaporized everything it touched. When it finally hit us, I was blown off of my feet... didn't even have time to run away or seek shelter. I ended up in the riverbed next to town, which kept some of the flames off of me. All around... could smell the charred stench of death. There were Dunmer that were burned alive and some never even saw it coming. I lay in that riverbed for two days before the healers found me. When I could finally stand, Gnisis was gone. There wasn't a thing left... it's as though it was wiped from the face of Tamriel."
